The first episode will be available on June 24, with Robay in conversation with the successful authors Emily Henry and Yulin Kuang. New episodes will publish Tuesdays on all the main audio platforms. Robay also hosts the podcast “Question Everything” and “while you were streaming”.
“Bookmarked by Reese’s Book Club” will take “the lover of modern books behind the scenes of their favorite stories, characters and authors,” says Hello Sunshine. Each episode will provide “a new book recommendation to dive and share with the others” as well as a question segment-answer subject to auditor.
